Commissioning for New Buildings

Commissioning (Cx) is an intensive quality assurance process that begins at the design phase of a new building and continues throughout its construction, occupation and operation (usually during the first 12 months). Cx is a process that ensures that the new building functions as the owner initially intended and that the building staff can operate the building and ensure its maintenance.

For Successful Commissioning

For a successful Cx project, CanmetENERGY offers engineers, technicians, managers, owners and stakeholders tools for the various stages of building construction – from design to post-construction.

Significant Advantages

harmonize the work and coordination between the different trades at the building design phase

better planning of work and, therefore, compliance with deadlines

ensure the optimization of installations

reduce building operation and maintenance costs

prolong the life of installations

To Ensure the Persistence of Commissioning Benefits

CanmetENERGY developed the DABOTMapplication software tool, which continuously monitors a building’s electromechanical components. To date, use of the software has yielded energy savings of 10 to 25% in the buildings in which it has been installed.
